You can't use a coil compressor, There's not enough room, I just put my
truck up on the lift(jack stands will do) then I put a floor jack under the
lower control arm and popped the ball joint apart, then slowly let the jack
down and you're all done. to put it back together just do it in reverse.
Just be careful those springs are nasty if you're not payin attention.
